BSU Steps onto Global Stage with Precision Agriculture Training and Tsukuba Conference 2025 in Japan

October 17, 2025The Benguet State University has again proved its dedication to agricultural innovation in the international arena, as two of its representatives, Dr. Janet P. Pablo and Ms. Frevy T. Orencia, attended a Training-Workshop on the Development of Low-Cost Smartphone Application with Deep Learning Models and the Tsukuba Conference 2025, which was held at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, between September 29 and October 3, 2025. Dr. Pablo and Ms. Orencia are key members of the BSU research project: “Precision Agriculture to enhance the productivity and economic profitability of Cabbage and Potato in Benguet,” which is funded by the Department of Science and Technology – Philippine Council of Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development (DOST-PCAARRD).

The training workshop was a week-long event, which took place at the Bioproduction and Machinery Laboratory, University of Tsukuba, led by Dr. Tofael Ahamed. The training was aimed at creating low-cost smartphone-based solutions to monitor plant health through the use of canopy imaging and a deep learning-based solution. This initiative supports Benguet State University’s (BSU) ongoing project to develop a user-friendly mobile application that will help local cabbage and potato farmers assess crop nutrient requirements and optimize fertilizer application. The workshop covered key topics such as image preprocessing, deep learning fundamentals, mobile development, and website development. The participants were able to integrate the deep learning model in the mobile application and website, completing the prototype for the project’s nitrogen (N)-application advisory tool.

In addition to the week-long training, Dr. Pablo and Ms. Orencia also had the opportunity to participate in the 2025 Tsukuba Conference. The conference was in its fourth edition since its launch in 2019 and brings together scientists, innovators, and emerging leaders from around the world to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research. With this year’s theme “Going into New Frontiers with Society,” the conference was focused on key areas such as space exploration, deep-sea research, brain science, nuclear fusion, and hydrogen energy. It also highlighted pressing issues and potential innovations relevant to the Global South, fostering collaboration toward sustainable and inclusive development. Among the plenary sessions attended by the BSU delegates were the Opening and Future Shapers Sessions, which gathered emerging scientists and leaders from various countries to discuss how emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and data science can serve human needs rather than replace them. The project participants presented in the special session on “AI and IoT to Integrate Automation in Farm Management: A Path to Sustainable Agriculture,” organized by Dr. Tofael. The BSU participants were able to engage with international experts from Malaysia, Taiwan, and Belgium who shared their research on digital tools for efficient farm management. These discussions are closely aligned with the BSU Precision Agriculture Project’s vision of using accessible technology to help Benguet farmers make informed fertilizer decisions and improve yield quality.

The visit concluded with a benchmarking activity at the Tsukuba Plant Innovation Research Center and other research facilities that showcased Japan’s advancements in agricultural engineering, sustainable farming, and precision crop management.

Impact on Sustainable Development Goals

The project’s focus on using technology to optimize fertilizer use and improve crop yields directly contributes to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals:

#SDG2 (Zero Hunger) by improving productivity and economic profitability of staple crops to enhance local food security; #SDG9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by integrating artificial intelligence and mobile development into the agricultural sector; and #SDG12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) by promoting the optimized use of fertilizer to minimize waste and environmental pollution, ensuring more sustainable farming practices

Its recognition in the Funding for Sustainability category came from the 2023 sustainable income-generating entrepreneurial projects of the University Business Affairs Office (Bsu Uba). For the Infrastructure/Technology category, BSU’s high rank was due to its Landslide Susceptibility Analysis, Monitoring, Mapping, and Early Warning Systems, a research program in the Center for Geoinformatics – Benguet State University that assists communities in the Cordillera.

Faculty and Staff from the BSU, led by Dr. Roscinto Ian C. Lumbress, the Vice President for Research and Extension and Dr. Rex John G. Bawang, Director for International Relations Office, proudly received the award that recognized the university’s excellence and global competitiveness.

The two-day FLAIR Masterclass provided an opportunity to honor the achievements of higher education institutions and to strengthen camaraderie among leaders. The event will further contribute to advancing the region’s collective efforts in promoting internationalization and celebrating global excellence.

BSU International Relations Office Celebrates International Literacy Day

September 8, 2025Today, we join the world in the celebration of International Literacy Day with a theme that defines our time: “Promoting Literacy in the Digital Era.”

The digital world is a powerful tool, but only if you know how to use it. In today’s digital world, literacy goes beyond reading and writing. It’s the ability to spot fake news, communicate respectfully, think critically, share responsibly, and navigate the online world with purpose and care.

Digital literacy helps us learn, connect, and create. But it also challenges us to be responsible, thoughtful, and kind users of technology, making sure everyone can benefit from technology, without being left behind.

Today, let us commit not only to spreading literacy but also to building a smarter, safer, and more inclusive digital world for everyone.
